- Crochet Hook – 3.5 mm
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Abbreviations

- ch.s. – chain space

Measurements
The finished piece was measured laying flat, very slightly stretched.
- width: ~ 15 cm / 5.9 inches
- length: ~ 19 cm / 7.5 inches
Notes
- This pattern uses US Terms.
- This mesh crochet produce bag is very stretchable, so try out its size as you go. You may want to add or omit a couple of rounds to make it work for you.
- To make the bag wider, change the number of foundation chain stitches, but keep it a multiple of 2.
- If you want to alter the height of the bag, change the number of round 4 repeats, but remember that it will stretch.
- Use cotton yarn for this project because it’s sturdy enough to hold the shape. Although it’s possible to make it with wool, for example, it may stretch too much.
